Tears of Blood

As tears of blood Stream down my face Draining downward At a steady pace After those who have died Long before their times Feeling as if I will be shortly behind I only ponder On what might have been done To prevent these lives From being undone Staring into The endless blue sky Tears of blood Leave my eyes I weep for those Stolen of lives I weep for those That could have been wives All of my tears And all of my blood Together could amass An almighty flood Nothing may bring Back a young soul Truly this is Out of my control Yet my tears of blood Still roll down my face On my knees begging lord That my soul replace All of these Taken far too young And instead of them, I Take the wrath of this gun As I fall from this shot My life seems to flash in my eyes Not long before My soul takes flight
